Need for a general electronic handheld platform


fanzine

Recommended Posts

Was recently looking over the database and noticed that people were using the Nintendo Game and Watch platform as a dumping spot for all electronic handhelds. Instead of cluttering up the Game and Watch category it feels like these would be better off being into a general Electronic Handheld category.

I'm sure that's something that will be done when the website database will get a major update / push or finding someone to do it (Jason should know the latest status, I haven't asked for a while). Many platforms are still missing etc.

The good thing is, that it will be super easy to just change the "Platform" field since we have so many entries for misc handhelds.

In the meanwhile you can make your own Electronics platforms in Launchbox and scrape using the G&W portion of the database - that's the beauty of Launchbox, so much flexibility. Here's what I've done for example:

Oh, and I think @Jason Carr should interfere or someone will destroy a big chunk (at least over 100) of perfectly complete entries in the database - I mean, why is it so hard to use some common sense?? "Hmm.. why is there so many other handhelds in the G&W section .. I shall delete them, and not ask why is that so!"

EDIT: and this is not even something new, we've talked about it ages ago:
